Impressively deep red with purple tones. After a gentle pressing, the wine was aged in a combination of French oak and "fine grained American oak" for 14 months. Even so, the wine is showing a strong fruit presence with minimal oak influence on the smells or flavors. Blackberries, boysenberries--ripe up front and carrying nicely to the medium long finish. Some heat from the 14. 5% alcohol. Under a screw cap, this wine has maintained its youthful fruit very well over 15 years.
